North London Chorus
Our next concert will be POULENC – GLORIA & DURUFLE – REQUIEM on 23 November 2024 at St. James Church, Muswell Hill!
Not long until our new term starts on Thursday 5th September! But before we launch into that, we're taking a moment to remember the summer.
It was an action-packed weekend in June, with a rehearsal, a concert and the East Finchley Festival!
Our welcome rehearsal is fast approaching! Interested in singing? Want to meet fellow musicians of all backgrounds? Really love French neoclassical music? Come along to our first rehearsal, where we will be working our way through our autumn repertoire of Duruflé and Poulenc! Music can be provided, you don't need to bring anything but your voice, water and a pencil!📍Martin School, East Finchley, N2 9JP🗓 Thursday 5th September⏰️ 7.45pmIf you have any questions, do send us a message, or go to northlondonchorus.org/join for more information.
As you’ll be able to hear from the snippet from our pre-concert Friday rehearsal a few weeks ago, the hero of the hour was our wonderful accompanist, Catherine Borner. Week in, week out she makes the instrumental parts come alive with her supremely accurate (and reassuring) piano accompaniment.
We might have a small ensemble of players bolstering our forces for Verdi’s Requiem tonight, but the timpani part is almost the same as the original. They’re considered indispensable because of the power they can bring to the full choir passages as well as being able to sustain softer notes. Tickets available today at the door from 18.45.
